Zero-Proof Strawberry Mojito

About the recipe

For Lent this year, we’ve been cutting back on our cocktail intake, and we’ve realized we really do like a good drink whether there is booze in it or not. That’s how we came up with this sweet and refreshing strawberry mojito. 

Strawberries are still not quite in season, but for this recipe that doesn’t really matter. Just a few fresh berries, mint, lime and sparkling water and before you know if you’ll have consumed two zero-proof cocktails without missing out on a thing.
